Dunno if it carries the ball further through the air, but good backspin will make a ball literally move backwards after hitting the ground. So you'd shoot past the hole and let the ball roll back into it.

Typically though, yeah, it's used to stop the ball dead in its tracks.

If I may interject back spin rotates the top of the ball backwards toward the golfer, allowing more arc, less distance and faster stopping potential upon landing.

Now let me demonstrate my textbook swing.

Yeah, this game is a fantastic little gem but it is hands down the buggiest thing ive played in the last few years. Ive had 2 different bugs occurring regularly on the mini golf course (one which is game breaking) and Ive had to take a break from the game so I dont get too mad.

Yeah I softlocked on minigolf twice, then on the third attempt I had a strange bug where my ball was stuck midair but still completed it.

Ive had that mid-air bug every time Ive tried to play through. Fortunately the ball resets after finishing the hole, but twice my ball has hit terrain and stuck inside it, and I cant pause or move, have to restart the game.
